> It really pisses me off when I read about creepy, stalking fans that go to the extent of camping outsides their idols' houses, stealing their mail from their mailboxes and etc etc. However, to have majorly, four big entertainment JE Boybands: Arashi, NEWS, KAT-TUN and Hey!Say!Jump post an angry letter to thousands of fans in their fanclub is a serious issue. D:>It shocks me that there are actually fans who have completely no brains as to do stupid things like planting hidden cameras in their house (Yamada's) or putting a listening/tapping device in Ueda's house. This is obviously a clear invasion of privacy. I wish these fans would see that these boys don't belong to them. They might entertain us with their songs, dance, variety shows and so on, but they are human beings and are entitled to their own privacy and human rights. By doing all the crazy things above, you are not only breaching their rights as a human but you're also making them become more guarded and stand-offish towards fans.
>And people ask why there was an adrupt change in certain of their behaviours. Like take Jin for instance, he used to be friendly, smily and polite to his fans way back in 2005. Yet, in 2006, many things changed. And who can we blame? Only those who made him that way. :\ I am not trying to say that I am a completely righteous fan, that I haven't in a way supported the dealings of those stupid stalkers by unknowingly purchasing paparazzi pictures sold, but at least I know my boundaries, such as just happily supporting my idols by buying their merchandise and watching them from afar. Even if I were to be in Japan itself, stalking would be seriously out of the question for me. Firstly, it is not only a waste of time and secondly, it's not me. I am just happy seeing them perform and supporting their music and various talents.
>Celebrity obession is a serious thing and I guess for these people, it must have completely taken over them to be so possessed to do all of the crazy things. It worries me that even Hey!Say!Jump, boys not even turning twenty are recieving death threats and stalkers. It's sad. It makes me think why such things exist in the first place.
>Oh well, the only thing we fans can do to improve this situation is to clean up our act. Or at least, refering to those fans directly involved in causing this mayhem. Coughs* Like Jin's message said: " If you're a fan, please keep your manners." There are certain boundaries that restrict one from obession to a supportive fan and I think it's important more people get to know that.
>Okay, now that I have finally unleashed the rant I have been holding in since last night when I first saw the message, it's now time for happier things. Firstly, it's 4th September so...
HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY NAKAMARU! 8D
>I hope he has a lovely day. ^^
>Also went out with Rachel yesterday to Orchard. We had a good talk over lunch while eating ramen (Which we both couldn't finish...LOLOL) and we shopped about for a while in Kinokuniya and HMV and talked about loads of stuff and catching up on the stuff we missed. I am glad to hear Rachel's doing fine in her new school and how she's just started taking violin lessons. I really hope I have another chance to meet up with her again. XD. It was fun.
>And CTKT today. I laughed so hard. Why is Jin so cute when he's being nervous about interviewing Jodie Foster. I must say, his english is really good. ^^ I could understand 3/4 of what he was trying to say even without looking at the screen and Will Smith was love. He made me laugh so hard that I almost cried. I love that man. XDD. I suppose CTKT will continue next week then with Kame and the Sex and City girls shopping since they don't manage to show it this week instead. D:
